WHELPS VS.. EAGLETS,

The Emporia Republican calls the
Wichita base ball club boys whelps. The
Wichita club is composed of gentlemen,
and the Republican shows littleness Of
spirit almost beyond limit in using SO low
an expression in speaking of them, having
no other reason than that they wiped up
the diamond with the Emporia amateurs.
Wichita Journal.
The humorous character of our remarks
In which the expression occurred ought to
have been sufficient guarantee that no dis
respect was intended. The other Wichita
papers, it seems, did not misconstrue them
Possibly, however, we should have used
''eaglets" instead Of "whelps," for it must
be confessed that Wichita, not being a
honess, would have no business with
whelps.-Emporia Republican.

YOU'RE ANOTHER.

The Emporia Republican in half col
umn article denies the EAGLES allegation
of a big drunk up there by setting up that
Wichita is guilty of the same offense and
that the drinks and drinkers were from
outside towns. Yes, we expect so, but af-
ter all such a drunk on such an occasion
grieves our heart sorely, for whisky and
the like have been considered a drug in
Emporia since the time when the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary.

1t is fact that several southwest Kansas
towns have now all the railroads that they
want and that additional roads would moi
benefit them, especially if the voting OF
bonds is a prequisite to such additional

their tax roll is limited and light and rate
Of taxation high and that high taxation

Queer language this from DR.. McGlynn:
"While am not here to defend the assas-

fail to distinguish the well defined line that

dealings. After that time, however, busi-
ness became almost stagnant, and the

though dull, was firm. Everything on the
active list is higher this evening, although
with the exception Of advances Of IA In

In dispatch to the Department OF State,
Minister DENLY paysa high compliment to
the present military administrator In For
mosa who, the minister says, is doing much
to establish order and develop the resources
Of the island. In the last year he has been
able to bring into subsection over 400 vii
lagos, with the result that 10000 people
have embraced civilization and over 20, 900
acres Of abandoned land have been re-
claimed. The previous condition of affairs
is exemplifed by the statement Of Vice
Cousul Cowles, that a thousand murders
year are charged upon the aborigines. Con-
sui Crowell, of Annoy, speaking of the
energetic administration Of the new gov
ernor general, says that he has instituted
many, new taxes, and has erected govern
ment monopoly Of the camphor industry.
